I took this picture after London finished her reel in the wrong spot, at the SDCCS Open Championship. “Open” means that there are dancers from anywhere in the world in her category.

I went to find her, and turned the corner, to see this giant tartan hug.

These kids did this, unprompted by any adult.

London will return the favour to these competitors…who just happen to grow into friends.

Highland Dancers are the most amazing people, even when they are just 8 or 9 yrs old.
